Everything for me conjures up images of Morocco and dancing lanterns and desert beauty....sigh... The MMH Kit this month will inspire you! I made a card to share today using my favorite sentiment from the kit.... I'd cross the Sahara for YOU! The Kit is called Magical Nights!

Loads of fun and inspiration for you today from wonderful fellow crafters! I'm always grateful to join the other ladies in this monthly hop. If you're new to my blog today - welcome! Have fun!

Get it while you can! They are such a great value! Each kit is $34.99 and this month's kit has a value of $80.00!!
Let's take a look at my project! I used the gorgeous new city skyline die to create a backdrop for the camel and palm tree. And, of course, that perfect sentiment! I started with a white A2 card base and layered a pretty bright blue paper. I die cut the skyline once from black paper and once from kraft paper and layered them slightly offset.
I stamped the sentiment onto a kraft layer and then put that part over the skyline to look like the desert in the foreground. I stamped and die cut out the palm tree and camel. I colored the camel with Copic Markers.
I stamped a few stars in the night time sky and added clear Hero Arts gemstones. Really clean and classic I think!
Here are my Copic color selections for this project.
The kit is available NOW! Yippeeeee! Below is a photo of THE ENTIRE CARD KIT CONTENTS! Beautiful images for Christmas and Winter crafting, fun tags, stamps, dies, ink and more! This is a great value for $34.99! The items sold separately retail for $80.00 or more! Hero Arts is VERY generous with their beautiful kits! The other supplies I used are listed below in my links.

TODAY'S BLOG HOP LIST!
Happy New Year! This is such a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year – Thank you!
My New Years crafty tradition is to try to learn one new technique per month and to share this in my monthly ‘Build Your Stash’ class, where I encourage others to share their new ideas. I do this card making class for all the events in our lives. We have all created a beautiful ‘box’ where we store our ‘Stash’ cards so that they are easy to find when an event comes up. I love being surrounded by my friends and family and helping each of them to keep their passion for paper crafting alive in their hearts!

Posted by: Karen L K | 12/05/2017 at 10:16 PM
I think my favorite part of your card was how you slightly offset the city skylines. It really made it pop and look backlit, even though the background was just kraft! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

I really like that camel. I'm thinking he might take center stage in some of my Christmas cards next year. The other stuff?? I'm not waiting a year to use them! The first thing I'm making will be a birthday card for my niece.
